Finally getting my 914/6 together and one question I don't think I've seen asked is what tank is best in your alls opinion. Stock/reproduction oil tank or go real cheap just use a 911 oil tank( will work fine ?)(just gonna have to figure out how to mount it?) Don't be that cheap! or get a Peterson 16 qt up front and be done with it ? More oil the better? Dropping in a 2.8 later may switch to a 3.6. Is it all about $ or How nice you want it? or size of motor and what ya going to use it for. It's going to be used 95% of the time as a weekend street car and it might see a DE a handful of times in it's life. Thanks for any insight into this decision.

Welcome to the board.. I infact build 914-6 oil tanks and Eric Shae from PMB sells them for us.. They have 22mm fittings so you can use the stock oil lines or go larger if you want.. That is the norm for reproduction tanks. I use internal baffling and .625 id plumbing just as stock factory tanks did.. Tanks are $600 oil fill necks are $135 and oil filter consoles will be done so shortly (waiting on machinest) and will be very commpetive as well..
My belief while developing them was to make a very high quality tank but yet very cost effective. If you look at the competition we are priced in such a way you will save about 400 on the package..hope this helps. |
